Carrie Underwood: The 2005 American Idol

Yea. I'm so glad she won as I have rooted for her since I saw her rendition of Could've Been i the semi-finals. She also had many other great performances throughout the season which showed her ability to appeal to a wider audience, not just with country songs, but pop and rock ones as well. To me, its amazing that she has never had any vocal training. With her sweet smile and personality, and her beautiful looks, she certainly could go a long way in her career. I just hope that her company would get her some vocal training to fine-tune her great voice, which is ready for the recording studios but if improved could become even more brilliant.
